Get a little liquor in the system and even the biggest weirdo freak vegan will chow down on a juicy burger. According to a recent poll in the UK a large amount of so-called vegetarians admit to snacking on tasty animal flesh after having a few too many adult beverages.

Via The Independent UK:

Two in five of 1,789 vegetarians questioned owned up to treating themselves to a sneaky kebab after a few drinks.

And one in three said they indulged in meat every time they went out drinking.

Twenty-seven per cent of the lapsing veggies said they ate bacon, while 19 per cent opted for fried chicken and 14 per cent confessed to munching on sausages.

…

The survey was conducted by money-saving website Voucher Codes Pro.

George Charles, founder of the website, said: “I know a few ‘vegetarians’ who sometimes crave meat, but it seems that a few are giving into their cravings when drunk.

“I think it’s important for friends of these ‘vegetarians’ to support them when drunk and urge them not to eat meat as I’m sure they regret it the next day.” Read More…

I say bullshit, if you have a friend who doesn’t eat meat its you’re duty as a normal person to encourage them to quit their foolishness.

It’s not just British “vegetarians,” 84% of idiots go back to eating meat when they remember that steak is tasty.

Flavonoids are a class of compounds present in plants, known to have numerous health benefits. Studies have shown that xanthohumol, a flavonoid found in hops, improved memory and thinking in a lucky group of lab mice.

The researchers treated the mice with dietary supplements of xanthohumol over the course of eight weeks. Their goal was to determine if xanthohumol could affect palmitoylation, a naturally occurring process that’s associated with memory degradation. The mice then went through a series of tests, to study if the treatments had improved their spatial memory and cognitive flexibility.

There was some other scientific mumbo-jumbo, but for the most part it worked. Now according to the study, it would require drinking 2,000 liters of beer a day (or 5,636 bottles of beer) to ingest the amount of xanthohumol used in the study.

That sounds like a challenge.

Combine that with a 2012 study conducted by the University of Illinois in Chicago, that found that that men who have kicked back a few cold ones were better at solving brain-teasers than their sober counterparts, just is more proof that everyone needs to kick back daily and enjoy a nice hoppy IPA.

… No, surprisingly enough, the missing POTUS was not found on a golf course. As a matter of fact, unfortunately it was not the real dear leader that had gone missing recently, but a statue of him.

Tiffany Bruce of Wilkes-Barre, PA spent months saving up the $1249 needed to purchase a life sized replica of President Barack Obama.

Fake Obama working about as hard as the real version.

In the time that she has had the icon of the false idol, she and her family had dressed it up for Halloween as well as as Santa Clause for Christmas. Earlier this week Bruce had found that the statue was missing from its normal position on a bench on her front porch.

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) –
Officials are still investigating the cause of a house fire that broke out on 42nd St. near Oates Ave. in Columbus, Thursday afternoon, but residents are blaming a newly installed water heater.

Six adults and two young children were inside watching television when the room began filling with smoke. After the children were rescued and everyone made it outside safely, a man who walks with a cane went back in the burning house to retrieve something he left behind.

“I told them to get the kids out and everything, and me myself, being an alcoholic, I was trying to get my beer out,” said Walter Serpit, “I went back into the house like a dummy and the door shut on me because this back draft was about to kill me.”

Serpit managed to save several cans of beer and he escaped the home without getting burned.

He is still a decade away from being legally able to drink the stuff, but Michal Bodzianowski, 11, a sixth-grader from Colorado is going to create the first ever microbrewery in space. Bodzianowski gets to embark on this most noble of tasks thanks to winning a competition that was part of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program, launched in 2010 by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education to spark interest in a new generation of students for careers in science, technology, engineering and math — known as called STEM.

I know one thing, if I was allowed to brew beer in school I would have had paid a lot more attention in science class.

The sixth-grader didn’t exactly devise the experiment as a way to help astronauts get drunk (or so he says), instead he claims he got the idea after reading about how in the Middle Ages people boozed it up more because alcohol kills bacteria, making beer much safer to drink then water, you know because of the plague and stuff. Beer what can’t it do? Bodzianowski realized that space beer could be a bacteria-resistant water source for astronauts.

To make it all sciency and stuff, Bodzianowski wrote in his proposal. “…as it kills bacteria, it can also be used medically to disinfect wounds.”

Unfortunately for the kid, being only 11 of course, he won’t be able to go up and conduct the experiment. But hey space beer!

Move over Nutella, there is something new to spread over toast in the morning… beer!

The product is the result of joint venture between two companies from Italy, Napoleone, an Italian chocolatier; and the Alta Quota brewery. They say the spread is great on toast, as a cake filling, and with cheese or appetizers.

There are two kinds of beer spread: one is delicate, while the other has a more intense aroma and stronger taste. The pâté is made using two beer varieties from Alta Quota, Omid dark ale and Greta blond ale. Both light and dark spreads are almost half ale, with the remaining proportion – syrups and gelling agents – providing the voluptuous body of the gooey paste.

All of this reminds me that I still want to try to make a Nutella stout.
